Missing my Dad

It was 3 years ago today that my father died. He was a person who loved life and people, I miss you dad.

Circus Oz ...a very unconventional circus

Circus Oz is a very interesting &  unconventional circus that is originally from Australia performing for over 30 years and is now touring here in America to share their talent ....yes I did say talent. I watched their video before going and knew what to expect from this circus which was going to be animal free & not a normal circus show or a Cirque de Soleil show. I figured since they were an Australian Troupe the humor was going to be very different from an American circus.  It was a little bit traditional old school circus blended with some physical comedy & a little jazz and rock and roll. The performers were trained in China for their acrobatics and were all very skilled.
I was pretty lucky to be able grab 4 tickets from House Seats and even luckier to sit in the Box seats at the Smith Center where they delivery your champagne and wine right to you. Very fun afternoon with lots of laughs with friends ...if this was a regular circus I wouldn't have bothered but with this show I totally enjoyed the day.

Girl Scout Thin Mint Cupcakes

Tomorrow in class we will be celebrating Lory's birthday and I had just bought  some yummy Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies so I'm thinking....Cupcakes? They might be the best chocolate cupcakes I have made to date. Made the chocolate batter from scratch and thew in a sleeve of crushed up cookies and frosted them with Mint Butter Cream Frosting. Happy Birthday Lory
